Texas Governor Greg Abbott Signs Texas DOGE into Law

The Texas government is getting ready to dig in deep and cut the fat.  That means Texans are about to find out about all the wasteful government spending and possible corruption.

Not long after President Trump took office, he kept a campaign promise by creating the Department of Government Efficiency.

What is the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE)?

DOGE is a department of the Federal Government tasked with cutting federal spending.  Since DOGE went into effect, they have found over $160B in government savings. 

Governor Greg Abbott Signs Texas DOGE into Law

On April 23rd, Governor Abbott put his signature on Senate Bill 14, making it into law.  This means that Texas now has its own version of DOGE.

This will make government more efficient and less costly, ensuring that Texas operates at the speed of business. I am proud of everything the Texas Senate and House were able to achieve to get this bill to my desk, which is now law.

What is Texas DOGE Called?

The Texas version of DOGE will be called Texas Regulatory Efficiency Office (TREO).  TREO will slash regulations and be in charge of putting stricter standards on new regulations, and put a check on the growth of the administrative state.

The difference between DOGE and the Texas Regulatory Efficiency Office is that DOGE is a temporary office. The Texas Regulatory Efficiency Office will be a permanent committee in Texas and will have 13 representatives serving.

It's not known if this new office will create as much controversy as DOGE. It's possible we will start seeing additional protests popping up across Texas of those fighting against the Texas Regulatory Efficiency Office.
